I love the focus on building small systems! I have five small cases but they're all themed in one way or another to force myself to make some hard choices and force creativity. I've got an FX case with an Injectr for guitar processing, a drum synth case for minimal techno, a glitch/microsound case for idm, a crazy binaural stereo case for ambient music, and a monophonic bass case for acid lines. When I play live, I'll bring two cases with me and design a set around cross-patching the two different approaches. My favorites are the guitar/binaural combo and obviously the classic acid/drums.
This is a very nice approach of having several small rigs to choose from and then crosspatching to have different styles work together. Thanks for sharing!
I use QoP with Eloquencer in my 4u modular case for a great portable techno drum modular setup. Works great with similar workflow to what I do on my Elektron boxes. Do you think Black Noir is worth getting to use for electronic music or keep QoP?
But you can't change out parts of the groovebox, you can't put in crazy sequencers that have euclidean patterns or random generators, you generally have only 1 or 2 global LFO's you can't combine multiple modulation sources in weird ways to create insane modulations. You probably need to spent £4000 Before you can make really interesting music with Just Eurorack. I find Eurorack is generally good for GAS as you can usually afford a new module every month, and you have a month to learn it and incorporate it in your rack, or you can sell it and get something else, if you buy used the only loss is usually the cost of shipping. Private Facebook groups are best for this. Before buying Eurorack stuff, I was spending Thousands on full sized synths like the Virus or Sub 37 to get my fix. If I were entering this hobby I would get a digitakt or TR8s first, then a Behringer TD3 or MS101 to try out a synthesizer to complement the drum machine, then a Behringer Neutron to try out modular, then a DFAM if you want to go further into modular, you are probably down less than £1200 at this point on used gear. After all of that then you can choose to go to Eurorack if it's something you feel you would use. By this stage you have decided that you are willing and able to spend the money on this very expensive hobby. In saying all of that, if you don't want to spend the money I find that Bitwig can do anything that I use my modular for although it doesn't sound as good, or you could use VCV Rack to simulate eurorack.
Building tiny systems really puts a focus on the functionality of specific modules. I'd like to see this patch but in a case that allows for some modulation.
Very cool what you can get out of such a rack Ihor! YES, I'd like to see where you take this in 104HP. Something like the Ladik Composer-N (quantized 4HP turing machine) might perhaps be useful for generating pitch sequences in small racks..?
Another great video! Also the best jam I've seen with QoP. For me the UI was too chaotic and illogical to enjoy. It requires constant attention. But I guess in a simple rack where it's the main character it works nicely
Happy New yr Ihor my friend, your back on the Pulse of Modular, which is your Forte , my Vibe, lots more for 2023, your one of my main inspirations as well as Mark Booth, Tom Churchill, Cinematic Laboratory, MATTHS Blush Response many others Best wishes Martin👁🇬🇧🌈🔱🕸⚡️🎶🎶🎶🆒
Martin! My friend! Happy New Year! There will be more modular stuff (but not only). PS: I hope to see the Cinematic Laboratory tonight at Voltage Control Amsterdam!!!
@@IhorMedia I listened through a pair of audio technica ath-m50. I also compared it to some of the kicks in your other videos. Noticable difference imo.
This was wild dude; I'd love to see you blow this up on a 104hp system and add some ore modulation sources! (You were going to do that anyway right ;) ?!)
Sick. Was looking at the Queen module but just went Digitakt after a few of your vids. Still deciding between ghost and mimeophon. Great patch. Love how simple the beat patch was and the rumble sounded sick. Didn’t know you could self duck. Is that specific to that module?
@@IhorMedia I think we should do a community service item together this year. I'll bring my Versios to you and we'll make a video for your channel. Then, when we're still friends, you take your versios to me (when the studio is done) and we'll do another one for my channel :).
Thank you! I actually thought the same about the Spoiler, but this is what it says in the user manual: "Spoiler adajuts noise samplerate for each of the 3 analog drums BD/SD/CP". It is just not that noticeable on the BD I guess.
Can you route the Mixup directly to the case to enable you to slot something else in that position perhaps? There are a few options for that 1U HP size these days that could help a tiny bit in such a tiny case :)
Pretty impressive what you're doing here, Ihor. Makes me wanna get into the realms of modular even more. Amazing components, a bit expensive but it looks like it's totally worth it. And that kickdrum just sounds so clean! Love your sound. Every time.
